The more you know about classical music, the more you love it.
Now, thanks to "Classical Music For Dummies," you can achieve a
whole new level of insight into both the composers and the
compositions that have made classical music one of the great
accomplishments of humankind. "Classical Music For Dummies" doesn''t
assume that you have a degree in musicology -- or even that you
took a course in music appreciation. Rather, the multimedially
gifted David Pogue and renowned conductor Scott Speck explain
classical music in terms you can understand, and they describe
musical elements so that you can hear them for yourself. A
reference you can dip into at any point, "Classical Music For
Dummies" covers such topics as The various forms that classical
music takes -- from symphonies to string quartets What goes on
behind the scenes and on stage to fill a concert hall with great
classical music How to recognize, by sight and by sound, the many
instruments that make up an orchestra The nuts and bolts of
classical music -- from rhythm to harmonic progression Plus,
"Classical Music For Dummies" comes complete with a CD containing
over 60 minutes of masterpieces compiled especially for the book.
The CD also includes a demo version of the AngelEMI Classics For
DummiesTM multimedia interface to try out on your Windows-based PC
